Yes, turbo tax will walk you thru everything. I used to work for H&R Block, and just like anything else, how we'll your tax return is done depends on hoe much experience your tax preparer has and hoe much effort they care to put in. I worked for a CPA too. Do you realize that in most CPA firms, the CPA interviews you and then a staff acct. does your return, not the CPA. Also, CPA's send their staff to H&R Block tax classes--been there, seen happen. I am a CPA so have nothing against them, but income taxes are a very small part of the CPA test. This is ALL H&R Block does and Turbo Tax really does it better-- because the program asks ALL the questions every time. It doesn't depend on how knowledgeable your tax preparer is. Go to AARP as mentioned by someone else--they are volunteering their time--they WANT to do taxes, they are trained and they know what they are doing.
